Since you are a maintainer on another language (Visual Basic .Net), what is the precise sequence of steps that one would need to perform to become the 1st maintainer of a new presence of Ada in Exercism.io?  I think that the 1st maintainer is specifically the person who bootstraps up a new language's presence on exercism.io, correct?  Apparently the sequence of steps might begin:
1) Practice being a newbie student of some arbitrary existing(-on-exercism.io) language's exercises to get the feel for how exercism.io is supposed to operate.
then
2) Contact another language's maintainer to be the 1st maintainer of Ada's fresh presence on exercism.io.

Are there more steps than that?  For example, must the 1st maintainer recruit a separate 1st mentor or must the 1st maintainer act also as 1st mentor?  Are those 2 steps perfectly stated or are they botched somehow?  Does some sort of vetting occur for the quality of a maintainer at time of volunteering that could cause the 1st maintainer to be rejected?  Does some sort of vetting occur for the desirability of a programming language occur up at exercism.io “corporate” that could cause Ada itself (independent of the 1st maintainer) to be rejected?  It seems that Ada and (AdaSubset-with-)SPARK would be 2 separate languages on exercism.io (otherwise it gets confusing), correct?  Why doesn't exercism.io have an overt webpage that answers these questions for how to bootstrap up a language's new presence on exercism.io (as this seems to be a separate & distinct topic to becoming the 2nd-or-subsequent-mentor that does have its own webpage explanation already)?
